You were a family friend, a mentor, and a second mother to me. You treated me as one of your own children. You were principled, candid, and encouraged and demanded a high character of us growing up. You were empathetic, generous, and kind to me and my family, especially in our moment of desperation. I feel forever indebted. I will always cherish every moment I had around you. I can still hear your voice, and see your smile. I know you are in a better place. However, I am sad I won’t get to spend any more time with you here. I was looking forward to visiting with you. I love you Mrs Kasi, and your memories are forever locked in my heart. Solly B
